Chapter 48: Self-Jin Era, Heart Illuminates No-Brightness

##**Chapter 47: Self-Jin Era, Heart Illuminates No-Brightness**

###**I. All Hearts Resonate, Ten Thousand Selves Pay Homage**

The Phoenix Heart in Lin Jin's palm suddenly pulsed, and the star sand sea surged with wild waves. Nine thousand "Lin Jin" hearts broke through the water, forming a lotus platform in the sky. Each heart displayed memory scenes from different eras—from the First Generation killing his master to the contemporary Lin Jin burning emotion, eight hundred thousand years of reincarnation were fully revealed!

The Ao Li heart in the center of the lotus platform suddenly split open, and the truth of the First Generation's final moments rose from the Nirvana fire: the white-haired old man stuffed a jade slip engraved with "Self-Jin" into the hands of the young Lin Jin (First Generation), his turbid eyes full of relief: "The time has come... kill me..."

The star sand sea suddenly went still, all the hearts vibrated in synchronization, the resonance condensing into the First Generation's final roar: "What I wanted was never eternal life... it was liberation!"

###**II. Scripture Bones Erode the Dao, Star River Steals Heaven**

Star River in the darkness pressed the "No-Form Dao Scripture" skull into his chest, his ribs instantly turning into star sand scripture scrolls. He stepped on the ruins of the bronze altar, leaving reverse-spinning ■■ symbols with every step:

-His left finger bones popped out, turning into a Heaven-Stealing Hook that pierced the time rift;

-His right pupil fell off, turning into a Mirror of Peeking at the Earth that shone toward the bottom of the Return to Ruins;

-His spine shattered segment by segment, reorganizing into a Heaven-Measuring Ruler engraved with forbidden runes!

"Master feared death and created reincarnation..." The Heaven-Measuring Ruler split the dimension, revealing the "Fear-of-Death Coffin" hidden by the First Generation, "I will use this aura of fear of death to rewrite the Dao principles!"

The moment the coffin lid opened, all practitioners of the "No-Form Dao Scripture" in the Primordial Desolation suddenly exploded, their flesh and blood condensing into blood hands that grabbed toward the lotus platform!

###**III. Heart Fire Forges the Jade, Jin Kisses Reincarnation**

Lin Jin crushed the jade slip left by the First Generation, the fragments piercing into the nine thousand hearts. The memory torrent flashed with a shocking truth: the First Generation had intentionally left flaws in every reincarnation:

-In the seventh life, he allowed Star River to steal his destiny;

-After the forty-ninth life, he guided Ao Li to awaken;

-In the eight hundred thousandth life, he personally planted the emotion tribulation!

"So you were waiting for me to awaken..." Lin Jin suddenly kissed the lotus platform, and the Nirvana fire burned through reincarnation along his lips and teeth. Eight hundred thousand water mirrors rose in the star sand sea, each mirror reflecting the scene of himself crushing the jade slip in different eras!

The First Generation's sigh came from all space-time: "Self-burning one... it is finally done..."

###**IV. No-Brightness Karma Lotus, Illuminating Eternal Night**

The lotus platform suddenly surged, the petals turning into pale karmic fire. The star sand sea burned by the fire evaporated into gas, revealing a shocking scene on the seabed—ten thousand Xiaoyaozi corpses were holding up a giant stele, the inscription being the First Generation's handwriting:

**"This world was originally a prison, and all living beings were my jailers. Today I burn the cage into a torch, to illuminate your true forms!"**

Beneath the base of the stele was a box made of neither gold nor jade, the chain patterns on the box surface resonating with Lin Jin's bloodline. The moment it opened, the Primordial Desolation sky shattered like glazed glass, revealing the "True Heaven" behind it—the sky was covered in bloodstains from when the First Generation scratched it while struggling!

###**V. Tribulation Ends Return to Nothing, Self-Burning Becomes a Boat**

Star River's Heaven-Measuring Ruler suddenly shattered, and the stolen aura of fear of death backfired. He laughed maniacally and tore open his chest, revealing the "Tribulation Seed" buried by the First Generation—it was actually half of Ao Li's Nirvana fire seed!

"Master, this is the true medicine..." The fire seed suddenly shot into Lin Jin's brow.

The lotus platform's karmic fire surged instantly, forging Lin Jin into a gray-white bone boat. The boat was engraved with the trajectories of the First Generation's reincarnation, with the broken jade slip hanging from the bow. The living beings of the Primordial Desolation heard a dual Dao sound coming from the boat:

**"All tribulations return to the Jin Sea, self-crossing is no-life."**

The bone boat sailed toward the cracks in the True Heaven, and where it passed, the star sand sea froze into steles. The steles revealed the final chapter of the "Self-Burning Scripture" that the First Generation had not finished writing:

**"... finally seeing heaven and earth as a boat, the one riding the boat is not me..."**

###**Finale: Boat Tracks Brand the Dao**

The bloodstains of the True Heaven suddenly moved, condensing into the final residual shadow of the First Generation. He stroked the tracks left by the bone boat, his fingertips scattering star sand into the Return to Ruins. The blood-red writing that Star River had carved into the void before he dissipated became visible:

**"The Dao is not the Dao, the boat is not the boat. Jin bones as proof, latecomers... beware of the Heaven-Measuring Ruler..."**

And in the deepest part of the star sand sea, Ao Li's Phoenix Heart was still beating. Each pulse gave birth to a new lotus platform, and on the platform, the sleeping infant's brow was slowly revealing the ■■ symbol...
